  4. One student will need to successfully make a half-court shot. One attempt only.

  6. If no one has hit the half court shot by the last game, all the previous participants will be invited back to shoot at halftime of the last home games. They each get one more shot. 
  7. If no one makes the last half court shot, then all students in attendance get to try a shot after the game is over. 
  8. Once a student successfully makes a half-court shot for that sport no other student will be selected at remaining games.

Final Game Details
Until now, TXST Athletics only selected one student per game to shoot a half-court shot to win free tuition at each home basketball game.  Now the promotion moves to an opportunity for ALL students to win.
 
After the men’s basketball game against James Madison on Friday, February 28 at 7 p.m. (Strahan Arena) ALL students in attendance can come onto the court to shoot a half-court shot. 
 
TWO students will definitely WIN FREE TUITION for the FALL 2024 semester.  We will keep shooting until we get two successfully made half court shots.
